Fakro FTU-V U3 Centre Pivot Roof Window
The FAKRO FTU-V U3 Centre Pivot Roof Window is designed to bring natural light and comfortable ventilation into your home while offering increased resistance to moisture. Finished with a white, easy-to-clean polyurethane varnish, this roof window has a clean and contemporary appearance that works particularly well in rooms where a bright, low-maintenance finish is preferred.
The window is manufactured from high-quality pine that is vacuum impregnated and carefully finished with multiple coats of protective lacquer. Three coats of varnish, together with additional corner guards, help protect the wooden components from the effects of moisture. This makes the FTU-V U3 particularly suitable for areas where humidity levels can be higher, including kitchens and bathrooms.
Moisture-Resistant Design
The FTU-V U3 has been developed with moisture resistance in mind, making it a practical choice for humid environments. Its white polyurethane finish is not only easy to clean but also provides additional protection to the timber construction.
The clean white finish also makes the window suitable for buildings where an easy-to-maintain appearance is important. As a result, the FTU-V U3 can be considered for applications such as hotels, hospitals and other commercial or residential spaces where white internal finishes are preferred.
Energy-Efficient Double Glazing
The FTU-V U3 features double glazing with an overall window U-value of 1.3 W/m²K and a glazing U-value of 1.1 W/m²K. The glazing unit is filled with argon gas, helping to improve thermal performance and contribute to a more comfortable indoor environment.
With an acoustic insulation rating of 32dB, the window also provides a degree of protection against external noise. The combination of thermal and acoustic properties makes it a versatile option for a variety of living and working spaces.
Easy Operation and Ventilation
The centre pivot design makes the FTU-V U3 straightforward to operate, while the elegant handle is positioned on the lower section of the sash for convenient access. The handle can secure the sash in two open positions, giving you greater control over airflow and ventilation.
The integrated V40P air inlet can provide airflow of up to 49m³/h, helping to introduce fresh air without requiring the window to be fully opened. This can be particularly useful in kitchens, bathrooms and other rooms where good ventilation is important.
Suitable for Different Roof Pitches
The FTU-V U3 is suitable for installation on roofs with pitches between 15 and 90 degrees when used with the appropriate flashing. This broad installation range makes it suitable for a variety of roof designs and applications.
A wide selection of compatible accessories is also available, allowing the window to be adapted to different installation requirements and user preferences.
